– Grew up in Chicago learning the blues on the streets. His guitar playing ranges from the more traditional raw one note bending screams to jazz based technical runs.
The Professor
– Brings an acid sound to the band, with flowing slide riffs that provides an ethereal feel to the music complimented by building waves of precise guitar runs that cut through the hard hitting rhythms laid down by the band.
Stickman mo
– Is the band’s Pacific Northwest native. From deep in the old growth forests of the Olympic Peninsula Stickman came to Seattle. With the windy sounds of his cello and the bough bending tones of his bass Stickman provides the roots for any form of traditional folk music. Fishfry discovered Mo playing Asian influenced blues cello at a Sushi Bar.
Tom Thumb on the Drum
– A recent addition to the band Tom Thumb was discovered by Stickman Mo in the parking lot of a Dicks Drive-In. Mo found him desperately gripping his drink in one hand while precariously balancing his fries and tarter on his forearm. It seems that Tom had poked a hole in his drink with his car keys and was using his thumb to close up the hole, knowing the beverage was a necessity for Dicks fare. Tom Thumb on the Drum has brought a heavy sound to RFB while leaving space for space.

Ratfish Bone is known for their live shows. Fuzing rock, funk and blues the band extends these traditional blues treasures foreva with outrageous jams!!
